JBDS are delighted to announce the renewal of their Water Industry Registration Scheme accreditation. The scheme is run by Lloyd’s Register as part of an ongoing process to introduce competition in to the water services market on behalf of water utility companies. The Water Industry Registration Scheme is for contractors who provide new connections to the existing water supply or sewerage system. These are referred to as “self-lay” organisations or SLOs. In order to be WIRS accredited, the companies undergo technical assessments from Lloyd’s Register. They assess several areas, including design, construction, connections, commissioning and project management. By becoming WIRS accredited, companies don’t need to be approved by 22 separate water companies.

JBDS accreditation enables them to tender for all works that fall under Construction of Mains and Services. This award shows our commitment to carry out all our water relates projects to the strict governance guidelines of this scheme.
